[Amended 12-27-2005 by Ord. No. O-05-48]
The elective officers of the Township shall
be the members of the Township Committee.
All officers shall be residents of the Township
and except where otherwise provided by law shall hold office for three
years beginning January 1, next succeeding their election. No Township
officer whether elected or appointed shall hold over in his office
after the expiration of the term in which he was elected or appointed.
[Amended 12-27-2005 by Ord. No. O-05-48]
Any person appointed by the Township Committee
to fill a vacancy in any elective office shall hold office only until
January 1, and any person appointed to fill a vacancy in the office
of Assessor shall hold office only until July 1, after the general
election next succeeding his appointment, and at that election some
fit person shall be elected to fill the unexpired term. If a vacancy
occurs at so short a period of time before the next general election
that the office cannot be filled at the election, the Township Committee
may fill the vacancy in the same manner as though it had occurred
immediately after the election, and the vacancy shall then be filled
at the next subsequent general election for the unexpired term.
